Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to allow software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus even if a requirement is determined to be unsatisfied and to provide presentation so as to indicate that the software that has been installed is unavailable. The requirement is defined to run after installation the software to be installed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a memory; and 
 a processor configured to
 allow software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus even if a requirement is determined to be unsatisfied, the requirement being defined for the software to run after installation of the software, wherein the software is installed to be operable without further installation after the requirement is satisfied, and 
 cause a user interface of the information processing apparatus to indicate that the software that has been installed is unavailable by
 concealing that the software has been installed from a general user other than a user who has administrator rights, and 
 displaying that the software has been installed but is inoperable to the user who has administrator rights. 
 
 
 
     
     
       2. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the processor is configured to cause the user interface of the information processing apparatus to reveal a software or hardware resource required for running the software. 
 
     
     
       3. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein if a software or hardware resource of the information processing apparatus is modified and the requirement defined to run the software is satisfied, the processor is configured to cause the user interface of the information processing apparatus to indicate that the software is available. 
 
     
     
       4. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein if a software or hardware resource of the information processing apparatus is modified and the requirement defined to run the software is satisfied, the processor reports to a predetermined destination that the software or hardware resource of the information processing apparatus is modified and the requirement defined to run the software is satisfied. 
 
     
     
       5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:
 allowing software to be installed onto the computer even if a requirement is determined to be unsatisfied, the requirement being defined for the software to run after installation of the software, wherein the software is installed to be operable without further installation after the requirement is satisfied; and 
 causing a user interface of the computer to indicate that the software that has been installed is unavailable by 
 concealing that the software has been installed from a general user other than a user who has administrator rights, and 
 displaying that the software has been installed but is inoperable to the user who has administrator rights. 
 
     
     
       6. An information processing apparatus comprising:
 a memory; 
 means for allowing software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus even if a requirement is determined to be unsatisfied, the requirement being defined for the software to run after installation of the software, wherein the software is installed to be operable without further installation after the requirement is satisfied; and 
 means for causing a user interface of the information processing apparatus to indicate that the software that has been installed is unavailable by 
 concealing that the software has been installed from a general user other than a user who has administrator rights, and 
 displaying that the software has been installed but is inoperable to the user who has administrator rights.
